In the course of the day the citizen

Worse Than Whlskey.

The Iowa State Board of Health is

feet that already more than 10 900 per-
sons in the State OF Iowa are discovered
to be addicted to the use of opium. The
effects of this drug ale more deadly

To victims thereof, than is the use of
alcoholic stimulants. The one puts the

According To the statement of Dr.llull,
who has been conducting the inquiries
and investigation, the habit has gained
foothold among the most honored and
useful members OF society, the majority
of victims being females, whose curios-
ity led them TO try something for new
sensation.
Opium comes Ia this country chiefly
from China and is used more 10y Amer
leans than 10y the Chinese. Its effect
upon the sensitive mercuridl American
is far more debilitating and disastrous
than upon the Chinese or Mongolian
race, as the effects of whiskey are
quicker and more eXuberant on the
Irish, French and Americans, than up
on the Scotch, Dutch or English people.

Thanks jerked out of some unfathom-

to be polite, and had best be omitted.
Thanks is only equaled, in my judge
ment, in straight down wrongness in
the idiocy that responds to the polite Il

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1887
The Bulgarian Problem.

The action of Prince Ferdinand in accept
ing the throne of Bulgaria promises to bring
the interminable Eastern question promi-
nently to the front again. The Porte has
sent circular to the powers asking advice
as to the course Turkey shall pursue under
the circumstances, and the German press
asserts that Germany cannot approve of
Prince Ferdinand's course. 1t is not known
positively that any of the powers are pre-
pared to sustain Prince Ferdinand, although
it is rumored that England, Austria and
Italy regard his election as being in
harmony with the provisions of the Berlin
treaty. Russia entered her protest against
him some time ago and it is not probable
that she will be content with simple protest
1t is difficult to understand how any of
the powers can regard Prince Ferdinand
action otherwise than as a violation of the
Berlin treaty. His election by the So
branje was in many respects irregular, and
can hardly be considered to be the action of
the people, but even if it were so considered,
in order to comply with the Berlin treaty it
would have to be ratified, or aG least con-
scented to, by all the powers who are parties
to that treaty, There is no probability of
such ratification.
Prince Ferdinand talks as if he regarded
Bulgaria as an independent State. It's in
dependence has never been admitted even
by England, its staunchest friend. 1t is a
dependent principality, and the Berlin Con
greSs authorized its national assembly to
elect ruler, but it expressly provided that
the election should be confirmed by every one
of the powers before the chosen ruler could
occupy the throne
Doubtless Russia will be heard from i'll
the matter shortly. She is not in the habit
of permitting her wishes to be treated with
indifference or contempt. When she is
ready to act it will be discovered who Prince
Ferdinand's hackers are, if he have any.

Stealing from the Mails.

A Florida paper few days ago COM
planned of the mail service in portions of
Florida. 1t asserted that the service was
in some respects very inefficient. Whether
it had good reasons for making the assertion
or not is a matter for the postal authorities
to determine.
The MORNING NEWS has a complaint to
make. II is that there is ground for sus-
pecting that there is a hght-fngered EN-
ploye in the mail service at Savannah, Ma
con, or on the route between the two cities
The MORNING News sends and receives, in
the course of year, many thousands
of dollars through the mails. Last June il
placed letter containing money in the
mail box in front of its office The money
was in an Office envelope which was adj
dressed to a party in Macon, and was not
registered. Advices received from Macon
state that it was not received by the party
for whom it was intended. What became
of it, The postal authorities have been try
ing 10 find it, but have not succeeded.
1t is reported that quite number of let
ters containing money and directed to
Macon has been lost recently. Doubtless
the postal authorities are doing all they can
to unravel the mystery, but if they are not
successful pretty soon they will be in danger
of losing their reputation for shrewdness.
